Happiness is something that cannot be bought but it is to be experienced. The best way to experience and attain happiness is through love and it is a form of passion and dedication towards a relationship. Love is essential to sustain any relationship and to keep the world a better place to live in. Like any other relationship, love between married couples is indispensable for the overall well being of an individual as it is the source of emotional support throughout the adulthood. The need of love in marriage is endless without which it is impossible to be selfless and patience which are the keys to make the marital relationship a successful one. ‘Megan Hipwell’ from the novel The Girl on the Train by Paula Hawkins has a troubled past and finds her life to be boring. Though she is married to Scott she is not committed and finds him to be overprotective and inattentive at some instances. This paper analyses the importance of mutual trust, love, passion and commitment in a conjugal relationship and how the lack of all these things would affect ones stability and sanity.
